This can be useful to test improvements in LLVM master and to make it
possible to support LLVM 11 for the most part already before the next
release. That also allows catching LLVM bugs early to fix them upstream.
Note that tests do not yet pass for this LLVM version, but the TinyGo
compiler can be built with the binaries from apt.llvm.org (at the time
of making this commit).
This fixes issue https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/issues/1418. In
short, it appears there was a race condition that was only visible on
GOARCH=386 but not on GOARCH=amd64. Updating to a more recent chromedp
version fixes the issue.
Clean up the go.mod and go.sum which have gotten a bit messy, and add an
extra line to go.sum that keeps reappearing locally for some reason (so
it seems important).
This commit also adds a bit of version independence, in particular for
external commands. It also adds the LLVM version to the `tinygo version`
command, which might help while debugging.
This commit improves error reporting in several ways:
* Location information is read from the intruction that causes the
error, as far as that's available.
* The package that is being interpreted is included in the error
message. This may be the most useful part of the improvements.
* The hashmap update intrinsics now doesn't panic, instead it logs a
clear error (with location information, as in the above two bullet
points).
This is possible thanks to improvements in LLVM 9. This means that after
this change, TinyGo will depend on LLVM 9.
This implementation is still very limited but provides a base to build
upon. Limitations:
* CGO_CFLAGS etc is not taken into account.
* These CFLAGS are not used in C files compiled with the package.
* Other flags (CPPFLAGS, LDFAGS, ...) are not yet implemented.
Also add unit tests.
This is the first of several transformation (optimization/lowering)
passes that I'd like to move to the new transform package. This
separates the compiler from the optimizer.
Also, it finally adds unit tests for the compiler, not just end-to-end
compilation tests. This should improve robustness and should make it
easier to change these transformation passes in the future.
While the heap-to-stack transform is relatively simple, other passes are
much more complex. Adding unit tests not only helps robustness over
time, but also doubles as documentation as to what these transformation
passes do exactly.
Add required files for vgo support. The new vgo system defaults to on
since Go 1.13 so we should be prepared for that once the release hits.
It is also useful for testing Go 1.13 before the release.
